Peppermint and Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

• Brownies:
• 4 eggs
• 1 (16 ounce) can chocolate syrup (such as Hershey’s)
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Frosting:
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10×16-inch baking dish.

Beat eggs, chocolate syrup, flour, white sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth; pour into prepared dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan completely, at least 30 minutes.

Beat confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, milk, and peppermint extract together in a bowl until smooth; spread over the cooled brownies. Wait for frosting to set before cutting to serve, about 10 minutes.
